    Amazing snapshot of Ghana! Fantastic day

    I was on a conference trip and didn't have much time to explore the country. The tour with Eben was absolutely amazing to get a snapshot of the country side beyond Accra. Eben is a great tour guide and took such good care of everyone on the trip. I learned a lot about the history, culture and plants in the area. The Aburi Botanical Garden was fantastic and learning about coco production and history was really interesting. I'm glad I didn't miss out on this experience and can highly recommend booking a tour with Eben.

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much for booking this tour hope to see you soon…

    Great time exploring Ghana!

    This was an amazing trip through east Legon with a history lesson thrown in! Saw so may beautiful historical sight, from the mystical botanical garden with ancient bamboo, to its parasitic trees - trees that have literally been taken over by a weed to the point where you can actually ENTER the tree and view the skies from within it……fascinating stuff. WE also got to ee the beautiful waterfall, hidden in the middle of the woods – you can even opt for massages while taking in the view. The entire day was coordinated beautifully by Eben – such a kind generous soul – he really knew the region so well and made so much of an effort to ensure we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. He took pictures, lectured us in the history and made sure to look after the elderly members of our party, helping with walking stick and foldable chairs, even buying us fresh coconuts to refresh ourselves with. There was nothing too big or small for him to help with. Finally, he even helped negotiate a taxi to the airport – we had been quoted an outrageous price and he went out of his way to find us taxis that ended up being 20% of what we had been ruthlessly quoted by a greedy Driver and his unscrupulous coordinator! Adventurous stuff! :-) Anyway, Thanks Eben for an amazing day. Next time we’re in Ghana, we will make sure to take a tour of the west through you. And you can help us avoid **greedy** drivers who try to charge us GHS700 for a journey that eventually only took GHS100! Personal message from the Eldesgt member of the group, aged 75: The tour guide Eben took my family and I on an amazing, successful tour. Throughou the duration of the tour, he was patient, helpful, caring and generous. I highly recommend!

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much for this wonderful and heartfelt review! 🇬🇭❤️ It was truly a pleasure spending the day with your family and showing you the beauty, history, and hidden gems of Eastern Ghana. I’m so happy you enjoyed the botanical gardens, fascinating trees, waterfall, and the refreshing coconut along the way. It means a lot to hear that you felt well cared for throughout the day. Making sure everyone in the group—especially our 75-year-old guest—was comfortable, safe, and able to enjoy every part of the experience was very important to me. Your kind personal message and recommendation mean so much. 🙏🏾 I’m also glad I could help with the airport transportation and make sure you received a fair price. 😊 Thank you again for trusting EAA Tours Ghana. I truly appreciate your kind words, and I’ll be happy to welcome you back to Ghana for your next adventure—especially a tour through the western side of the country! 🌴🌊🇬🇭 Until next time, keep exploring and making beautiful memories!

    So worth it!

    Recommended by a frien who just visited. It was a great half-ish day tour! From on time pick-up to drop off Eben was warm and sharing history & little known facts. The driving leaves room for alot of conversation. Each part was lovely and the cocoa farm demo/tasting was cute, insightful, and yummy. My favorite part of the tour was the Assema Waterfalls, it was beautiful. Just enough water to splash around (not deep enough to dive) and standing under the falling water was refreshing! Eben snaps great pics throughout so dress cute for the gardens you can change after lol. Eben was super professional & can be super flexible and accommodating. He made sure I tried coconut water the Ghana way and had some great fufu (not included, I paid the restaurant in cedi’s). Overall a great eastern region tour. Wish I had booked him for other tours especially based on his historical knowledge.

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your wonderful review! It was a pleasure showing you the Eastern Region and I’m delighted you enjoyed the cocoa farm, Aburi Gardens, and especially Assema Waterfalls. I truly appreciate your kind words about my service, flexibility, and historical insights. It was a pleasure having you, and I hope to welcome you back to Ghana for more memorable experiences with EAA Tours Ghana!

    Aburi Gardens,First Ever Cocoa Farm & Waterfalls Day Adventure: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Accra.

    How much does Aburi Gardens,First Ever Cocoa Farm & Waterfalls Day Adventure cost?

    +

    Prices start at $95 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Accra usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Aburi Gardens,First Ever Cocoa Farm & Waterfalls Day Adventure take?

    +

    Plan for about 7 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Accra is not rushed.

    Is Aburi Gardens,First Ever Cocoa Farm & Waterfalls Day Adventure worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 81 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 44 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Accra, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Aburi Gardens,First Ever Cocoa Farm & Waterfalls Day Adventure?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Aburi Gardens,First Ever Cocoa Farm & Waterfalls Day Adventure suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 7-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Aburi Gardens,First Ever Cocoa Farm & Waterfalls Day Adventure?

    +

    Around 15 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Accra can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Accra and add a light layer if any part of the 7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Aburi Gardens,First Ever Cocoa Farm & Waterfalls Day Adventure start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Accra within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Accra?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Accra experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Experience the Beauty, History and the Culture Of Accra in a Day, Cape Coast Castle, Elmina Castle & Kakum National Park Day Tour, Accra Guided City Tour: Cultural and Historical Experience. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Accra?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Accra?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Aburi Gardens,First Ever Cocoa Farm & Waterfalls Day Adventure?

    +

    Included: In-vehicle air conditioning; and Admission fees. Not included: Lunch; Breakfast; and Dinner. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
